Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan
★★★★★
We have some chunky waves this morning! Our surfers enjoyed the exhilarating surf at the very picturesque Balangan. The surfers mostly stuck to the head-high waves and paddled past the few larger set waves that came in. The wind was blowing offshore at the onset of the session, however, it changed directions towards the end of the surf. The smaller waves offered fun fast and slow sections. Some long rides were on offer for surfers able to read and react to the sections.
The surfers worked on reading the oncoming sections of a wave, which a surfer uses to match their pace to that of the wave. Knowing when to speed and up and slow down is extremely helpful for turning an average ride to into a leg-burning ride of a holiday.
